My Diary

Hi everyone,

Everything has been the same minus one pretty cool development.  If you saw my post in the Botox thread then you already know that my insurance approved full coverage of the40 injection botox treatment, to be performed 3 times over 30 weeks.  My first appointment is scheduled for March 1st, I'll get my 40 injections (I hate needles by the way.... after all this and needles are the only thing that undoubtedly make me cry), follow up in 5 weeks, then have another forty 5 weeks after that.  Rinse, repeat.  I guess I'm glad that my insurance covered it all, I just have to pay my office visit copay and pick up the Botox a few days before from the pharmacy and keep it in my fridge until the appointment.

In other news, school is picking up so I've been really busy.  Maybe thats why I got sick this last week.  As of Saturday my voice completely disappeared and is still sluggishly returning as of today.  I got my boyfriend sick of course.  Work is about the same as usual, things have actually been really negative at the lab lately.  I have this weird anxiety thing where even though I know I'm not in trouble, I get really anxious and upset when a group is being reprimanded for something.  We've been getting reprimanded a lot as a group at work, for poor quality and poor turn-around-times.  I know that this doesn't really have anything to do with me, because I do my job, and I do it well, but I still get really anxious about it.  Oh well, hopefully things settle down.

Tomorrow is my 24th birthday (hooray for me), birthdays aren't a huge deal to me, just another day.  But of course as all anniversaries and birthdays do, I've been put in a very reflective mood.  This time last year on my birthday I was living in a completely different apartment, was just about to start a job, had just gotten into graduate school.

Things have definitely changed.

Hope all is well, please comment with any question about the Botox, hopefully I'll have good news to report soon.
